HARD TIMES, Part 5

"My people are destroyed because of
their lack of Knowledge. Because you have rejected Knowledge, I will reject
you. . .- Hosea 4:6

In
this series of articles, we have looked backwards into the events of the
last century to discover the root causes of the ‘decline of the United States’.

We have seen how a small group of European bankers seized control of the
entire Monetary system of the United States. With the establishment of the
Federal Reserve Bank
(which is not Federal but privately owned), currency ceased to be
spent into circulation by the Federal Government and is now lent
into circulation, requiring interest to be paid to the bankers on
every ‘dollar’ loaned out through their twelve central banks.

"As
we have advised, the Federal Reserve is currently paying the Bureau approximately
$23 for each 1,000 notes printed. This does include the cost of printing,
paper, ink, labor, etc. Therefore, 10,000 notes of any denomination, including the $100
note would cost the Federal Reserve $230.

In addition, the Federal Reserve must secure a pledge of collateral
equal to the face value of the notes." - William H. Ferkler (Manager Public
Affairs, Dept. of Treasury, Bureau of Engraving & Printing, Washington
D.C.)

By
virtue of this currency monopoly, the Federal Reserve Bank, a private corporation,
is able to control our nation's entire currency and government (which is,
and whose policies are, bought and sold on the international markets every
day.
CAN YOU BUY $100 BILLS FOR 3 CENTS from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
?
Do you really think that you can compete against men that can ? The so-called
"tax" collected by the IRS, is not tax at all, but FORCED PEONAGE DEBT obligations
necessary for the government to continue renting currency from the FOREIGN POWERS THAT RULE AMERICA. The fact that your check
is cashed by the private corporation and not the Treasury is proof that
these payments are NOT "TAX" at all (because they are not deposited at the
Treasury as required by law).

So, what does the Federal Reserve Bank REALLY do with ALL THOSE TAXPAYERS'
"TAX" DOLLARS BEING GIVEN TO THEM ILLEGALLY? (They use it for personal enrichment,
by buying media control, government access and policy, and acquiring controlling
stock interests in the huge multi-national corporations that want to be
free to operate for maximum profits around the world without concern for
"local" governments and their laws that interfere with their business.)

Because
knowledge of their schenanigans is now becoming more widely known, mainly
because of the Internet, these rogue bankers and their agents in high positions
are becoming more and more concerned about their hold on the American people.
In the past their policies were aimed at the elimination the ‘middle class’
in America through taxation, inflation and stealth. Now, they can no longer
rely on those methods, so they are feverishly preparing for the military
take over the United States.

What
we are about here, in these articles, is to enlighten our fellow citizens
through a more advanced type of education, in the hopes that we can train
our fellow citizens in Knowledge.

To
begin this article, permit me to cite some quotations from Milton William
Cooper, a former intelligence office, who wrote a book entitled, "Behold
A Pale Horse".

I was given a copy of this book to read four or five years ago and I must
admit, that what he says in his book agrees very well with what I’ve observed.
Let me begin:

"Consequently,
in the interest of future world order, peace and tranquillity, it was decided
to privately wage a quiet war against the

American
public with
the ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy
(wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the
self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few."

"In
order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and
apply new weapons which ... were a class of weapons so subtle and sophisticated in their principle
of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name 'silent
weapons' ... the objective of economic research, as conducted by
the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods)
and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable
and manipulatable .

In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements
of the society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken,
trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early
age, before they have the opportunity to question the propriety of the matter."

"In
order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class family unit must be disintegrated
by a process of increasing occupation of the parents and the establishment
of government-operated day-care centers for the occupationally orphaned
children."

"Then
the response of the household to future [economic] shocks can be predicted
and manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins
under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping
system.

"Eventually
every individual element of the structure comes under computer control through
knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer
association of consumer preferences (UPC codes), with identified consumers
(identified via association with the use of a credit card) and later a permanent
'tattooed' body number ..."1

ELECTRONIC
MONEY

"In
this [economic] structure, credit, presented as a pure element called 'currency'
has the appearance of capital, but is, in fact, negative capital ... debt
.. and if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population -- war, genocide....
War is, therefore, the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors
..."

"...
it was discovered that an economy obeyed the same laws as electricity and
that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer

know-how
developed for the electronic field could be directly applied in the study
of economics ... for example, in an economic model, human life is measured
in dollars, and that the electric spark generated when opening a switch
connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation
of a war." 2

"Experience
has shown that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining
control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of
basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized
and distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand
[like maybe sports?] ... Those who will not use their brains are
no better off than those who have no brains, and so this mindless school
of jellyfish, father, mother, son, and daughter, become useful beasts of
burden or trainers of the same."3

FEDERAL
SNOOPS

Recently,
the FBIhad its image ruffled when
the public learned last July that the agency was using a machine, menacingly
named Carnivore, to gather Internet usage data
from ISPs. Carnivore plugs into an ISP’s server and gathers the trickle
of data that accumulates as a specific user logs in and out of his or her
ISP.

Privacy
watchdog groups—including the ACLU and the Electronic Privacy Information
Center (EPIC)—raised the concern that the FBI, using Carnivore, could collect
data on people not suspected of crimes while it was in the process of monitoring
the traffic of targeted individuals.

A
bit of software code can be embedded within an Internet banner ad. When
the banner ad appears, it activates an image file 1 pixel by 1 pixel in
dimension, so tiny that it can’t be detected by the human eye. As long as
the window stays open, it functions like a keyhole, allowing whoever programmed
the Web bug to watch and record any browsing that takes place on that machine.

Stephen Hsu, CEO of SafeWeb, says that he was a physics professor at Yale.
Every time Hsu would catch one of a series of teenage hackers, he would
discover that they had installed a prefabricated
"packet sniffer" program
on one of his department’s many servers.

These packets allow would-be eavesdroppers to watch and record the traffic
that flows by—from private e-mail to clicks during Web Sessions.

Underlying
every Web page are thousand of lines of HTML code.Each
line of code can refer your browser to content that resides on remote servers
that can by physically located and owned by a multitude of people and companies.

The
secret to SafeWeb’s anonymizing technology is the SSL (secure sockets layer)
encryption that comes standard in current versions of Microsoft’s Internet
Explorer and the Netscape browser. SSL is commonly used for the final clicks
in an
E-Commerce or banking transaction — the part when a user sends sensitive
personal information such as a credit card number to a Web site.

A
far greater threat than profiling software is the type of spy software that
anyone can purchase off of the Web and install in the home or business environment.
Many of these programs are sold under the pretense to assist employers or
parents with monitoring their employees or children's access.

In reality, programs likeKeyKey, Net Spy and Ghost Key Logger are really used to
secretly gather sensitive information, passwords and the actual emails of
unsuspecting users. Spyware programs like this are able to capture keystrokes
so that everything you type is stored in a secret buffer on the machine.

Some of these programs go as far as to take picture "snap shots" of surfing
or machine activity.This activity can
be later examined by the spy, or in some cases e-mailed over the Internet
to the spying party.

To check your computer for these "spyware" programs, go to http://hop.clickbank.net/hop.cgi?wzcom/securenet for a
copy of Xblock's program, Xcleaner. Xcleaner is an anti-spyware and surfing
history eraser Program.

WHO
ARE THEY ? ? ?

In
the 1st issue of this series, I reported on a group of dignitaries from
all over the world, who meet every year in Davos, Switzerland. Some wanted
to know if these were the Council of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission
or the Bilderburgers.

Actually, some of their member overlap, in that they belong to two or three
of these organizations. The CFR members were originally from the New York
City area, but later expanded to include Washington, DC, and then the rest
of the US. The TC members come from all the same above areas, but in this
case the Japanese were included because of their dominance of the banking
industry. (The largest banks in the world are in Japan.)

BILDERBURGERS

Back
on May 14, 1998, from all over the world, attendees -- 120 representatives
of the Western political, financial and corporate elite -- cruised through
the beautiful Scottish countryside in black limousines on their way to the
swank Turnberry Hotel in Ayrshire.

The discussions they engaged in, and the consensus they reached, will influence
the course of Western Civilization and the future of the entire planet.
This meeting took place behind closed doors in total secrecy, protected
by a phalanx of armed guards. The BB
members are largely from Western Europe, Turkey, Greece, the Scandinavian
countries, the US, and Canada. Prince Bernhard, of The Netherlands,
became the first Chairman, and served in this post until scandal forced
him to resign in 1974.

Dr. Retinger became the first Secretary, and remained so
until his death. John J. McCloy (former Chairman of the
CFR, and Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank) used his position
as coordinator of information for the US government to build the framework
of what was to become the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), created in
1941-1942 era, headed by Bill Donovan.

During 1947, the OSS was rolled into a new group called the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) by the 1947 National Security Act, which made the activities
of the CIA immune from all civil, and criminal laws. In 1950 General
Walter Bedel Smith became Director of the CIA.

The
CIA helped organize, and sponsored the formation, and operation of the Bilderberg
Conferences. There is little doubt that the CIA sponsored the formation
of the Bilderbergs, and continue to do so, to this day.

Kai Bird’s excellent account in "The Chairman, John J. McCoy,
The Making of the American Establishment", states:

"In late 1952, Retinger went to America to try the idea
out on his American contacts. Among others, he saw such old friends as Averell
Harriman, David Rockefeller, and Bedel Smith, then director of
the CIA. After Retinger explained his proposal, Smith said, ‘Why the hell
didn’t you come to me in the first place?’ He quickly referred Retinger
to C. D. Jackson, who was about to become Eisenhower’s
special assistant for psychological warfare.

It took a while for Jackson to organize the American wing of the group,
but finally, in May 1954, the first conference was held in the Hotel de
Bilderberg, a secluded hotel in Holland, near the German border. Prince
Bernhard, and Retinger drew up the list of invitees from the European countries,
while Jackson controlled the American list."

The
BB’s are the most secretive of the three. When they meet, they clear out
all the guests, and employees in the buildings in which they are to meet,
they completely debug all the rooms, bring in their own cooks, waiters,
housekeepers, heavily armed security guards, etc., and do not allow "outsiders"
anywhere near the meeting place just before, during, and immediately after
they meet.

In Recent meetings, the security forces were told to "shoot to kill" if
anyone tried to break into their meetings.

So, you will find that members of these groups control the Federal Reserve,
the Bundesbank, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank
of England, and the powerful Bank for International Settlements.

The Bilderbergers are greatly disturbed over the growing public knowledge
of their control of the world and of resistance to their schemes for a global
government as nationalism grows around the world. So, the time has come
for them to act decisively. They must subdue the people of the United States.

The
Club of Rome, a so-called futuristic organization, met in Los Angeles last
year. Their conclusion: "The real thing standing in the way of the world's progress is
fundamentalist Bible-believing Christians." . . ."They will have to be eliminated."

Henry
Kissinger is reported to have said, "Yes, in the coming
New Order, many people will die, but it will be a better place to live for
those who do not die".

Defense
Secretary William Cohen recently confirmed on NBC's Meet the Press: Federal
troops are prepared to seize control of the United States in response to
a national catastrophe--such as a biological terror attack, or a Middle
East nation detonating one of the many missing Soviet nuclear devices in
a major U.S. city... The fact is--most experts believe that a major terror
attack is simply a matter of when, not if.

And when it does occur, social chaos will be the result.
Pandemonium on a scale unseen in our history, and almost certain to trigger
a massive federal police response.

Hard
to believe? In May 2000 the federal government began practicing "crowd control"
drills in "Operation Topoff"...planned draconian response to a biological
terror attack against U.S. population centers...."

In
October 1984, just as Reagan was about to run for re-election, journalist
Jack Anderson dropped a bombshell in one of his columns. He had discovered
that FEMA officials drafted "standby legislation" to present to Congress
if the United States was faced with domestic chaos or a state of total war
(presumably against the Soviet Union).

The proposal, according to Anderson, would have stripped away the essentials
of U.S. democracy; it would "suspend the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, effectively eliminate private property, abolish
free enterprise, and generally clamp Americans in a totalitarian vise."

The
fact that FEMA was compelled to craft a response raises some curious questions
for both fans and political researchers. The X-Files is famous for
venturing into shadowy realms, but when all is said and done, this is just
a fun flick, right? So why did FEMA take the unusual public relations measure?

The
TV show and the movie have often alluded to the skeleton in FEMA's closet.
In Fight the Future, Dr. Kurtzweil spells it out: "FEMA allows the
White House to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national
emergency. It allows creation of a non-elected national government. Think
about that, Agent Mulder!"

Whenever
whole populations are uprooted and forced to move to a different part of
the country (or even another country), it generally happens that many get
lost in the scuffle and are never heard from again. I would encourage those
who stockpiled supplies for the Y2K fiasco not to throw those supplies away.
Get prepared. Organize your friends and families. God Bless, I remain, Jeffrey
Brackeen
